New thread for the 2nd game of the back to back.

The Nuggets are favored by 6 and a half points.....

 

[CardNots]

Ding, Ding let round two begin!

 

[Proteus]

I think we're gonna turn in one of our usual ugly back to back games and end up losing badly. I hope I'm wrong though.

I wonder if D'Antoni will go beyond his 7 man rotation is Hill still is unavailable. If we're to have any shot at winning this game, I think we gotta do that.

 

[PHX 32]

A second consecutive loss to the Suns would crush the Nuggets playoff hopes. Gotta play probably just as strong as last night to win, they'll be desperate. Do it PHX!

Suns 121
Nugs 117

This sucks. I'm gonna miss the game because of band practice. Missed the 4th quarter last night for the same reason.

[Covert Rain]

As great as a comeback win was last night. I would settle for a much closer game if it meant the Suns were playing more consistent for 4 quarters. Either that or a Suns blowout would be nice.

Ahhhhhhhhhh who am I kidding? Bring on a repeat of last night. It was a freaking blast.

Nooooooo! I would much rather have everyone on the Suns shoot 43% and lose by 12. Much more balanced that way.

Gooo Suns!

The rematch is gonna be fun. Does Raptorsnation show the games that are on NBA TV?

let's get it on!!

This one is going to be a really rough game. I want the Suns to win but won't be surprised if Nuggets come out on top.

Suns 125
Nuggets 123

Amare with 42 pts.
J.R. Smith 90 pts

 

[capologist]

Suns by one. Nash wins it with a dunk at the buzzer.

pass by Shaq.

I said a while back in one of these prediction threads that after the Detroit game, this one worried me the most. It's got a lot of things going against the Suns:

- Second night of a back-to-back
- High altitude in Denver
- Suns tend to slack off after a big emotional win
- Nuggets really really need this game and are pissed from last night. They'll be focused and on a mission

I fear the Suns may just be content with the win last night and a guaranteed split in the home and home series. I think they'll come out sluggish and dig themselves in another hole that they won't be able to recover from.

Denver 126
Suns 119

The positive is that frequently I'm full of crap, so there's always hope that this is one of those times.

Very clever.

Subtle.

But clever

 

[sLapzsHaQ]

I don't think I would be seeing Melo laughing tonight

 

[capologist]

pass by Shaq.

Nah. Pass by Majerle.

(And I must point out, to give credit where credit is due, that PHX 32 broke the Majerle story first. Wouldn’t want the poor guy to go uncredited again.)

 

[sLapzsHaQ]

Majerle is not a good passer, and he will get injured at tip-off, so he won't make it to that game winning pass.

 

[capologist]

Yeah, Majerle gets injured at tip-off, but he has to hobble out there on a gimpy ankle in the 4th quarter after Pike fouls out.

 

[TheHopToad]

It won't matter if Majerle is injured. All he needs is a chair at half court and his back turned. Game Over.
